St. Francis

This is the day when Jesu's true Confessor,
 Whose happy Festal here His people keep,
 First in his flesh the five marks of his Blesser,
 Bore printed deep.

 Verse. Lord, Thou didst mark Thy servant Francis.
 Answer. With the marks of our Redemption.

 Prayer:


 O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, when the love of many was waxing cold, didst manifest once more the holy marks of Thine own Suffering in the flesh of Thy most blessed servant Francis, to the end that our hearts might kindle again with the fire of the love of Thyself, be Thou entreated for Thy servant's sake, and grant to his and our prayers that we may effectually carry Thy Cross and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
